Comment on Show HN: An open source framework for voice assistantsparent

Comments

I have Alexa (Amazon Echo Show) and my use-case is asking for a news briefing, the weather, playing music, or setting timers.

Alexa is a dumpster fire and constantly getting dumber. She also completely disrespects your settings and will re-enable settings you have disabled. She constantly ignores my questions to ask me if I want to try some other new feature instead. She randomly decides to add news stations I have explicitly removed from my Flash Briefing list.

I am constantly baffled by how bad it is.

The hardware is nice though. Wish we could run open source assistants on it.
